A year ago, Jordan Dalton held her first ladies-only Bunco Tournament at a friend’s home, creating an intimate atmosphere for the first-year event. This year, she moved it to a much larger venue at The Transept at 1205 Elm St. in Over The Rhine.
“People had fun and we got such great feedback that we wanted to expand and grow and see if we could raise some more money and get more people involved,” Jordan Dalton said.

The night was a fundraiser for the Andy & Jordan Dalton Foundation (AJDF) and its “Pass It On Fund,” which helps the families of children with serious medical conditions. Rows of playing tables were set up, as well as tables for those who attended just to watch the games or participate in the auction.

“Sometimes it’s really hard with the guy’s schedules to get them to be able to commit to several events throughout the year, so we tried to think outside of the box,” Dalton said of the event. “It’s a good, easy way to have casual conversations. I think dinner and certain events when you’re going from person to person you don’t get to talk and they don’t get to ask questions, so this provides an opportunity just to meet more people and answer questions and create awareness in a more comfortable atmosphere.”
